WhatsApp rolls out dual account support for iPhone users

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp on Friday announced a slew of new features, allowing Apple iPhone users to operate two accounts on a single device simultaneously, while also introducing new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for photo editing and drafting messages.

The ‘two accounts, one phone’ feature, which was previously available only to Android users, is now rolling out on iOS.The company in a blog post said the update eliminates the need for users to carry two separate devices to manage personal and work conversations. Users will be able to identify the active account via a profile picture visible in the bottom tab of the app.
